Simon - what a legend. Total anti-presenter in many regards (postures, movements, doesn't remember the topics), but as soon as he enters his rider's zone, he's invincible. He probably doesn't even notice, but his constant hand gestures while talking help SO much in understanding the topic he's explaining. And these gestures are 100% like all MotoGP rider's gestures when explaining bike's behavior. All in all, such a lovable guy.
Thats how a rider talks to their engineer regarding whats happening to the bike as they rode them and whats needed to be changed for them on next session
What he lacks in smoothness he more than makes up for it in charisma and passion.
Agree 100%
If this bloke would talk little louder or position microphone little closer to the face it would be a blessing. He has such weird voice, I can hear him the same if my volume is at 10 or 90% 😄
@ Well I don't know, I hear him without any problems, loud and clear. Ok, not particularly loud, but clear definitely.
I am not a racing engineer, but I do understand quite a bit of those concepts talked about in tech talks. And from all the top motorsports categories Simon Crafar (ok, from this season F1TVs Albert Fabrega) are the only two tech talking guys whose explanations are super simplified for everyone to be able to understand, yet you don't feel like they are talking down to you or mocking you. Huge props for that 👍👍
Interesting. I thought motoGP could take some notes from F1’s tech series on TH-cam. The presenter isn’t saying ‘I learned…,’ he teaches the audience. I want concise, technical information from an expert.
Simon is the cool science teacher who's class you looked forward to attending! Guy is awesome! Has taught me so much and makes my watching better!
I just love listening to Simon Crafar talk. He could talk about virtually anything- and I'm pretty sure I'd be just as interested in that as I am about MotoGP. He just has a comforting tamber in his voice. It's very calming.
Thank you Simon and thank you MotoGP. This content is golden. I really love this.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Another great, animated talk from Simon - I love his representation of the rear ride height device!
I appreciate all of Simon's input. His knowledge every race week and on every one of these videos is priceless. He adds so much for us fans. Thank You.
This tech talk series is soooo good! Cheers Simon and Moto GP 👍
i could listen to Simon for days and days, just pure passion breathing through his words
This is one of my favorite bits in motogp: Simon, the racers perspective and the tech talks. What a legend and what a show! Keep it up, mate!
It's the only MOTOGP content I watch... Don't even watch the races any more!!
I've followed the sport since the mid 80s and everytime I think I know everything there is to know, Simon teaches me 2 or 3 new things :)
I've had many Teachers and Professors in 3 Colleges that had 2 things in common. They were my only PHd instructors and the most passionate, therefore truly enjoyable. I aced their classes because i was enthralled. Simon reminds me of these Educators. I, no doubt, would score 100% of any Test Dr. Crafar might assemble. Good Job Professor!
Brilliant explanations Simon- well done, really appreciate your credentials as a pro rider, and thank you.
Excellent presentation as usual - thanks Simon 😎
*Pure gold* 🪙🪙🪙 Sir 😎 real content
Well done Simon - a very interesting topic. 20 years ago, on a MotoGP forum I questioned why teams weren't using any sort of aero bits on the machines and was immediately set upon as a rube and stupid person (lol). Fast-forward to 2022 and it seems that aerodynamics have been entirely embraced and actually make the bikes faster.
Except they’re f*ing up the racing. Badly.
@@Showmetheevidence- nah
@@Showmetheevidence- *Stares at Phillip Island*
WOW. That one aged poorly.
imo, 20 years ago indeed it was stupid.. but in nowadays motogp, they dont have any other chances/area to develop the bike. engine freeze in 2020 and 2021, homologated single electronic control, etc etc.. chassis wise already matured, brakes are from supplier, single tires, very limited area to develop something. thats why the next reasonable thing is aero.
Simon is a treasure in Moto GP ,such an asset !!!
Always a pleasure to listen too, thank you Simon!
Riders choosing hard fronts in the last ten years or so all makes sense now. Thanks Simon.
Oh, and when you were animating counter steering into fast corners i was laughing out loud.. it's one of the riding techniques i didn't realise i already had.
Love the show, guys
Another great tech talk! Great job to you and the crew. I hope to see more!
Thank you Simon ! Great Info ! You make Learning Easy !
I am old enough to remember GP races in the 80's. They didn't have any of this stuff and the racing was much more fun to watch as a result.
If I ever have an opportunity to attend a riding school it would be Simons. I feel like I am on the bike
experiecing the ride height device just by watching this video. Bravo!
Its guys like Simon thats responsible for pushing the bar higher and higher to make our motorcycles rival the technology NASA uses in the space shuttles. The tech alone in the past 10 years is so advanced that its makes you scratch your head on how some of its even possible or how it was thought of. On behalf of the motorcycle addicts like myself thank you for everything you do!
I Watch every episode twice...so much interesting info which forces one to think about it...I love it!
Simon is great! Great information and very articulate from a fast former racer! Keep the videos coming 👍🏻
As usual! Perfectly explained and presented
Facinating stuff, and Simon you are the right guy for this Tech Talk. Thanks.
Just the best technical videos in motorsport.
Another excellent one, Simon. Makes me proud to hear the kiwi accent.
Love these tech talks and found that a fascinating insight into how it’s all come together over the last couple of years with the advances. 🤓😎
Excellent as always. Thanks!
Really enjoy watching these videos, cheers Simon 👍
Fantastic explanation, Simon. Thank you!!!
Always watching from Georgetown Guyana south America 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾
Thank you !! Much appreciated 👍🏻😁
Another great tech talk from Simon. Thanks.
Love these vids….keep up the good work Simon👍🤓
Super impresive. I love that animation style. Great tech talk!
Thanks mate, these are great.
Very informative and entertaining. Thank you Simon
Really cool breakdown and explaonations. Look forward to more of these
Simon so passionate speaking about them bikes
Great work!
Interesting,huge step of evelopement. Thanks Simon
Very cool, very informative. Thoroughly answered.
Yes this is good content. Simon is great. 🏁🏁👍
Great work Simon,keep it up pal
Cheers simon, that all went in , great career mate ,loving your comments come race day too , keep up the great work mate
1:00 Physics. Its got to do with the suspension and how a bike react to the sudden torque and weight transfer. Same with your feet and legs, if you put your 160-200ish lbs on the seat, of course its going to assist the front wheel in coming up. Keeping the bike at an angle has to do with the same stuff. The rear swing arm wants to move to allow the bike upward, the suspension fights this, but your weight fights it back, its a combination of balance and skill.
I could listen to Simon talk for hours. Thanks for the tech talk.
Excellent commentary by Simon!
very good xplanation. well done sir!
Really well done. Great details in the explanation.
Classic Livio Suppo! Great tech talk
Totally agree with Spartan_1007 ❗❗
Tech Talk with Simon is really cool, that opening sentence about why the riders found Japan different instantly gets you thinking.
The end result is a mind boggling bunch of knowledge, thanks to the teachings of Sensei Simon .... cheers to you 🤟✨
Sensei Simon 😄 I love that.. thanks Craig T
Sweet as explanations. Learnt alot. 🇳🇿👍👌
Thanks Simon
Great easy to understand info thanks/
Hope this kind of video will come more in the future.
Love all the tech! ♥️ Let's have more aero and electronic trickery!
Gotta love Simon! ❤😊
Love it!
@ 1:15 yup, you can still go straight with some lean angle. Lean doesn't turn the bike, turning the bike induces lean angle. @ 6:25 Simon mention how ride height devices help reduce aero induced drag, "a little bit". Which is the same reason the America's cup cats rode bow down at speed.
I know I know, no active aero, don't trust the bits or the algo... but wouldn't it be fun?
Hi Simon, your videos are extremely informative, thank you.
One interesting info would have been if you can tell the lap time differences from 2019 to 2022.
Keep up the good work!
Good job!
But the change in tyre construction..they don't lean as much in 2019..in 2019 marquez lean 66 in germany...64 and 63 is easily achieveable...now even marquez and fabio 61 and 62 angle
Its more like sacrifice for straight line speed
Marquez lean and lose speed and not get enough exit speed. Problem was with marquez if Alex rins can bend much lower and find the right line and accelerate perfectly he will get faster exit and compensate bending beyond 60 degree redundant
Marc was "overleaning" and using his elbows as a 3rd wheel + shoulders as shock absorbers. Not sustainable. 61-63 degrees is more realistic.
fascinating synopsis - very impressive
Thanks, great.
Thanks simon
Anyone miss the 500 Grand Prix years or just me ?
Fantastic and very informative, from Te Awamutu
Such a Lehman way to explain things in a very simplistic manner , thanks Si
Fantastic Tech Talk Simon,I look forward to further installments.
Brilliant.
Cool!!
Simón!
Que bonita motocicleta estas presentando, la gran suzuki, y en color azul, supongo que lo último en tecnología, y también supongo que estas comentando sus ventajas.
Saludos Simon!
De Noemi de México! 🇲🇽
I was in the 05’ teams garage and was able to hit the throttle a few times on the Suzuki motogp bike. It was so fast it felt like the gas pedal on a electric car. Instant power
Whew Simon talk’s you listen !
The old 500cc two-stroke Grand Prix bikes were more exciting to watch than MotoGP ever has been. Even if the big four-strokes are faster, they aren't as thrilling to watch.
Simon is the bomb! NEVER let him go, please!
Yet some lap records suggest they haven't got much faster in recent years and in some cases are slower.
Although we know who will be teaming up with peco next year, would love to see part 2 video.
I like the way your hands signal like that
He is correct about this 👍
I wonder whether the the combination of higher speeds at various points on any given MotoGP track along with the complicated effect of devices and aerodynamics also means that the high side incidents are (1) more complicated (due to the additional factors), (2) less predicable (same reason), and (3) potentially more violent due to the relatively higher speed. We see riders emerge relatively quickly from low side slides, but even with air bag suits the violent forces associated with high sides do not mix well with human bodies, especially the extremities.
I would love to work with this guy one day 😭❤️
Simon, if the rear ride height is lowered coming out of the corner, improves straight line speed and again lowered at corner entry, why not leave it lowered for the complete lap/race?
Travel my friend.
nice question, because high position of bike (suspensions and height) is better for the ''rolling'' on curves and handles better the bike movements ... this is called rolling by the tecnicians of mGP , SBK, ... low centre of gravity is good for some things and high centre of gravity is well for another things ... and bikes have a lot more of settings ,wheel base, height pivot swingarm ...
Simon, half Italian, just talk with he's hands 🤌👐👍
Brilliant summary. Thank you Simon. Still don’t like the aero wings and winglets.
Thai look style 😎
Holy shit that was a single take!!
Very important information, thanks, just add some graphics to make the video more entertaining, regards
2021 Johan Zarco / 368 km
2022 Jorge Martin / 369 Km🕡
2023. ? / 370 Km
I LIKE ✌
Suzuki such a beautiful bike😎😎😎
What’s the advantage of the raised rear suspension position then? Better cornering?
can we please show us on youtube about motogp tire sizes and compare them to street tires and worldsuperbiketires please
when he said "back in my days".
feels like i just watch an old tiger who lost his fang but not the claw
Team member just chilling in the background
I thought lowering device was only used at the start to make it like a drag bike. how are the device switched on when moving? you can see riders pushing and moving up/down to make device switch on at the starting grid. how they do it when moving?
Perhaps some day, things will align for a motovudu 1 on 1 :)
